I can finally reveal a secret that I've been wildly excited about! For months Ollie and his wife, Camilla, have been in the process of buying an abandoned historic mansion near Barcelona, and the sale has finally gone through! Philip and I jump in the car to go and visit them for the first time, and we're blown away by the beauty of their new home, and the importance of the renovation task ahead of them...
The Chateau Diaries Episode 322 ✨🏰✨
Escape to the chateau with ’The Chateau Diaries’ 🏰

Ollie and Camilla have bought themselves a real treasure. The painting and tile work are outstanding and the chandeliers are nothing to forget either. Wow! Also, the puppy is so stinkin cute!
The chubby hedgehog made me smile 😃 and Philip’s kindness taking it to the vets is lovely
Ollie & Camilla's new home is breathtaking! I cannot imagine how to renovate when every surface is art! So good to see Nick again, he always strikes me as a kind, nurturing woodland elf!
If you like reno check out LoneFox….he just bought a cute 1929 house in California….super cute architecture
Camilla is so stunning 🤩 Her posture is incredible! she’s absolutely gorgeous 😍 💃🏼
I noticed her posture too! Makes me feel like I should be working on improving that. 😂
I can not imagine a better home for an artist
The home is amazing but Camilla’s arms are incredible! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
OLiver and Camilla have found a beautiful place in Barcelona.
Camilla's dress and colorful top is absolutely beautiful with all of the colors.
Andhe beautiful mane!!!
One never really knows what Stephanie's vlogs are going to reveil. That and and an endless list of other reasons is why I love them so much!
I am so happy for them. Perhaps it is an idea for Ollie and Camilla to contact chateau Gudanes, it is in the Pyrenee. Has the same state of stunning murals. They have contacts throughout France and Spain to restore academia, volunteers, and other essential sources. It would help them greatly to get started with the right people. As the restrictions in Spain are just as strict as in France.
Ollie and Camilla! The perfect artist's house. Wishing them both joy. So beautiful.
And I love the wooden dining table for the woods...too nice to be called a 'picnic' bench
I Agree
Wow. Ollie's house is incredible. All that painting for a painter!
The Fat Hedgehog sounds like a children's book.
What an utterly gorgeous house. The details, the ceilings, the floor tiles. A fantasy house.The facade. Incredible. 🇦🇺
Congratulations Oliver and Madame C. You are creating a gem of a legacy!
As a former landscaper and hiker, one of the markers of time was a sixty foot circle of sycamores, and realizing the beginning was the center...
Fascinating
Phillip putting up paintings before a trip reminds me of my Dad, when we were going on holiday we would think he had gone out to fill up with petrol and he would come back in a different car!😀😊
WOW, the painting on the walls and ceilings are so beautiful. The town is lovely and you can enjoy it with a walk. La Land grows fat hedgehogs, too funny.
Little hedgehog too fat. Too cute. Even the wildlife are thriving at la lande. A great era for the chateau. Thanks again for sharing it all and now we have a Spanish mansion to follow! Congrats Olly and Camilla 🎉🌸💕
Stephanie, I always enjoy the surprising detours that your vlogs can take --- and rarely a clue when to expect them! I mean, really, Ollie and Camilla's grand Modernista Mansion comes as a bolt out of the blue, totally electrifying, but in the most positive way. Can't wait to get more in-person details about the Pineapple Room... and all the others too! Of course I've subscribed to their Magical Modernista Mansion vlog. How will I keep up with all the action and remember to keep my own life on track? Guess I'll just have to pedal faster!
Congratulations ! You made it to 200,000 subscribers.✨✨
Love the woodland furniture that nik made for you!!!
I can see that in a woodland clearing with loads of string lighting overhead, going from tree to tree.
Perfect for a midsummer’s night dream dinner party……
elegant rustic.
It is Monday morning here and I cannot think of a more cheerful way to begin my week! Loving Ollie's Spanish palace and I cannot wait to see the video. I will watch it after work tonight, so it will be distraction-free viewing! Thank you for the video Stephanie! Have an amazing week!
I have to admit, I went straight over to Ollie and Camilla's 'Triple M' because, how could I not... not only is it fabulous, it has dogs... good luck with a puppy Philip! The 8 hour drive isn't that bad in Aussie travel time... as a child, back when times were slower than today, Mum would have the car packed, my sister and I, plus the cat on the back seat ready to roll at around 3am, we were just waiting for Dad to jump in and go! About 11 hours later, after couple of 'cuppa' stops and on one occasion a runaway cat, we turned into Nan's drive in the country, Dad was back 'home' - brothers all down the road, family sawmill up the back! - and we were still in NSW... fun times!
Love the log picnic table. 😼🦘
Their mansion is such a fantastic find! The old magnificent building in the central location and with their own plaza and fountain! But that garden, just wow! To get the opportunity to restore all that while eating ice cream is a rare opportunity :D
WOW! That house is beyond dreams! The features and condition, the fact that it's in the middle of a villeage (with great restaurants) yet has a huge garden, and just outside Barcelona (one of the best cities in Europe) is just spectacular! The large terrasses, the architectural detail, the frescoes, floors, location, massive congratulations to Ollie and his family on their slice of Catalan heaven! (and on their new puppy too 💕)
I'm so relieved the hedgehog was healthy and could be released!
I wonder how he got overweight? He'll be fine now anyway, cool and rested.
Speaking of which I don't know how you stay so slim Stephany, considering the dinners you constantly eat!?
I think you've lost rather than gained weight.
Perhaps it's down to your genes and some intermittent fasting?
Pray do tell 🌺
I’m definitely not losing weight! I control it with intermittent fasting 😊
@@TheChateauDiaries Please be aware this is not a healthy way for many and can set health in a spiral for some. We all do fast every evening when we sleep each night. But I get what a trend it is and how it can feel good due to giving the liver a break. Luv the channel forever and thanks for showing Ollie and Camille’s amazing home.
@@sugarmmmp i do know with price of groceries these days, some people are doing only two meals a day. but it should depend on age. Protein and other things takes so many meals to get what one should.
@@LomaxYearwoodthethird and Cadaquez, a bit further in the other direction but my favorite for 100% peaceful days by the sea. ❤️
Wow wow wow!!! Ollie's beautiful home is just absolutely gorgeous!!! What an amazing place. I am going now to their channel to view more!!!
Oliver's Mansion is as Beautiful as his Paintings 🖼 😍
OMG that picnic table was fantastic, I really love the way he made seats at the ends. He is a very talented man.
Nick and his son Cab are great.
The tasting menu at the restaurant is incredible. Amazingly decorated house in Spain too.
Magical Oliver and Camilla mansion is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
This is FABULOUS! I can not believe the wall paintings are from 1911.
Kudos Phillip, the hedgehog appreciated you caring.
Ollie and Camilla's new home is beautiful. Congratulations. Your new picnic table beckons a WOODLAND GARDEN PARTY!!!
I'm so happy your hedgehog was just fat. I just watched a video of a hedgehog rescue who had mange so bad, he looked like a lump of mud until he moved. His healing and care was miraculous. When the mange was gone, before his quills grew back, he looked very naked. It was so sad seeing that way. Thankfully, he was completely healed.
Ollie & Camilla's Mansion is just simply the most exquisite building with a large garden in a Spanish town 🥰😍 WoW I think they should call their puppy Luna 🌜
I think my jaw was on the floor the entire time you were at Ollie and Camilla’s. I studied in Barcelona for a summer when I was in college so I love Cataluña and modernist architecture. I think I’m going faint… 😱😍
Am so so happy for them
Good to see the tree man.Great picnic table he made!
I hate to think how much it’s costing for the woodman to do all the work at the chateau. My friend had to pay £1000 to have one very large tree cut down! Stephanie must be rolling in it!
I love Ollie and Camilla’s new home! Every aspect is a work of art and history!
Congratulations Ollie and Camilla! Wow what a stunningly beautiful home. How delightful to be in walking distance to a fabulous village and what a delicious dinner .I love the rustic outdoor table, Its fantastic. The dinner you came home to and table look magnificent. I'm so happy the lil hedgehog is simply overweight. Love to all ❤.
Philip has an eye for detail the painting goes so well in that room. He’s got a kind heart taking care of the chubby hedgehog too. Gosh! You guys do a lot of travelling so nice to get a little view of the Mansion in Spain owned by your friends. Lovely video and heaps of content Stephanie thank you
stephanie has shown so much kind heart and concern for the animals. more evident than before. I think philip rubbed it off on her.. and she lets it out
Ollie and Camilla have out done themselves!!! OMG This Place is so full and lovely!!! Congratulations!!! Thanks Stephanie and Phillip!!! Have a blessed week!!!
Thanks for taking us along to see Oliver & Camilla's villa. I too spotted the blue & white tiles and immediately thought what a beautiful.Moorish garden it could be! 😊
Congrats on 200,000 followers🥁🥁🥁
I love Oliver.
Oh that was stunning! Love love love Ollie and Camilla’s home…it’s a work of art from start to finish! It’s going to be sensational once they’ve put their love into it. So glad you got away and back to more excitement at your beautiful chateau 🥰☀️💖⛲️
Hello Stephanie! When Philip got back from the vet and informed you of the hedge hogs condition, I laughed so hard. He paid 33Eu to be told the hedge hog needs to be on a diet 😂😂😂 Wow Ollie and Camilla’s new home is absolutely beautiful. What an amazing treasure they have bought. 😊
Beautiful place love the hand painted ceilings and fresh feel pale green walls, so refreshing.
I love Spain, tiles, and Ollie's house! Thanks to all for sharing!
Another fabulous vlog.....what a house Ollie and Camilla have purchased....those gorgeous painted walls and ceilings. I am going to love following their new vlog.... what a restaurant to have nearby the new house.
Everyone needs a Steph as a friend, such a great hype friend, so positive and encouraging. Love it. Congrats on the house guys! Its gorgeous, its a dream come true.
Oliver & Camilla well done, what a stunning place...
By the level of your excitement Stephanie I bet you had a feeling Ollie and Camilla’s new home would be something quite divine !! Goosebumps, spectacular !! It truly is a dream town home 💛 That garden is amazing too !! Thanks to you and Phillip for taking us along to see it 🌸💛
I think it’s hilarious that your lovely,slightly overweight, hedgehog is being transported in a box labeled Bien Manger !
I love it that the plump Hedgie is in a crate with 'Bien Manger' written on it ! xoxoxo
These rich people live on another planet.
They sold everything to move to Spain, so not rich. They will have events, selling paintings. Volunteers and Patrons to restore the building. A life time of work. 😘
@@LomaxYearwoodthethird Ollie's property is listed, so restoration is going to be more complicated. 😘 Lalande is not listed, but is in the most under populated area of France. About the chapel, Stephanie said if the work doesn't start this year, she will find a new restorer.😀
That table is a thing of beauty!! My father would have loved it!
Such a wonderful vlog... Beauteous Barcelona, Lovely LaLande, and Happy Hedgehog. Ollie and Camilla's new domicile is so spectacular! At first I couldn't breathe, then I couldn't close my mouth, I was so affected! The artistry is phenomenal. There are so many museums in Barcelona. Surely they could recommend possible restoration artists for consideration. Unbelievable! Thank you💗 (I love the Chagall porcelain)🦔
The painting works perfectly!
Stephanie you can never overpack! You’ll never know what you will need or what occasions will pop up.
I am an Artist. I thank you for perserving Art. Thank you, I cannot tell you how this has given me a smile in a time of grief. Such beautiful painting.
Where can we see some of Ollie's art? I am an artist as well, and an art teacher.
@@katelanxner278 pretty sure the paintings in the salon at his new home are his work.
Just looking back to Ollie and camilla's place, I'm following their vlog now, such a beautiful place!
Gorgeous house Ollie and Camilla got and I subscribed!
I’m so happy to see the growth of the sequoias babies ❤️ I adore trees and sequoias are my favorites!
Spectacular and heartwarming! Thank you!
Congratulations Ollie and Camilla! Your house is jaw-droppingly beautiful! I am speechless! There is no doubt you are the best people for the job and I look forward to watching the restoration progress on your new channel! How exciting! All the very best! X
You wouldn’t catch me sleeping under a heavy picture hanging above my head!
Stunning !
Wow! Very gorgeous!!
Congratulations to them both! Beautiful home!
I thought the hedgehog was all itchy and needed treatment for that.
What a beautiful place. Both the dogs are so lovely. What an ideal place to live, with such lovely places to eat and drink in walking distance. xxx
This was just lovely. What a treat!
What a lovely home Ollie and Camilla have .So happy for them . Thank you for another wonderful video.
Camilla is such an elegant beautiful lady. I would have loved to see more of her imput, in this lovely segment. Comment: ( Mrs. P)
Wow - Ollie looks SO much like actor Jordi Mollà! Also - stunning house.
The clarity of this is amazing...
I love Ollie and Camilla's house. Thank you so much for showing it to me. I have never seen anything like it!! Wonderful!! Dream House! More than a perfect place to live!!
Just when you think 'Chateau Diaries' cannot outdo itself, the visit to Ollie and Camilla has proven otherwise. Amazing!! What a treasure they have purchased and the 'village' it sets within is the crown in the jewel. Just amazing. (BTW.... the tile work on that planter or (?) fountain in the rear garden is BEAUTIFUL!)
As always we love sharing in your adventures. Thanks for taking the world along with you.
Hope the recent heat waves blasting France, Spain and England have not taken too much of the wind out of your sails. Merci!!
What an absolute gem of a house, thank you so much
Oh my word! This building is amazing! Bravo!🥰
Gorgeous place, just wow. And having the outside space too is amazing
Sooooo happy for your dear friend!!!!!
For the first time in my life I feel I’ve grown too old to fast too soon I am long past renovating anything or moving anywhere! So thankful to watch and now am now able to follow the” younguns “good job Ollie and Cam, beautiful find.
What a beautiful building! Looking forward to seeing it restored.

Wonderful show. You are all so inspiring. Thanks so much for all your help.
¡Qué hermosa historia! 🥰

So compassionate, little hedgehog won't wander far with Phillip keeping an eye on him. I love love love Ollie and Camilla's new home, simply gorgeous and made me want to travel to Spain now as well. So reassuring to see people travelling again. Oh I think there must be one perfect little puppy soul out there for you both to adopt. Much love xx
Oh my god, it is so incredibly gorgeous. I love Art Nouveau and it is a perfect example of that period. Everything is in such great shape 110 years later. Congrats Ollie & Camilla!
amazing home Ollie, and great video guys!
Great video.. from Spain and home again. Delightful. Thank you
Wonderful video, Stephanie and Philip👌🥰🙏
